Calzones Ingredients

Method

Calzones Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Calzones

    Cut the rolled-out dough into circles (about 6 inches in diameter). Place a generous scoop of the cheese mixture on one half of each circle, leaving space around the edges.

  4. 4

    Seal the Calzones

    Fold the other half of the dough over to cover the filling. Press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.

  5. 5

    Egg Wash

    Brush the tops of the calzones with beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious calzones!
